Selection Guide: Choosing the Right Aerial Work Platform

Aisle Width (Ast)

For indoor activity, consider the machine's aisle width. Choosing the suitable aisle width for a scissor lift can reduce overall business cost and improve efficiency. For a boom lift, aisle width is less critical.

Work Environment

If your daily operation requires the operator to carry material and tools, a scissor lift is ideal. For outdoor work where you need to move around obstacles with precision, a boom lift is the better choice.

Floor Condition and Gradeability

Both EWP types need good floor conditions. While they can move across slopes depending on gradeability, a flat surface is recommended for safe aerial work. A scissor lift is more sensitive to floor conditions, whereas a boom lift can handle tougher slopes thanks to higher gradeability.

Aerial Work Platform (EWP) Selection Guide

Choosing the right EWP comes down to three things: the working height you need, the type of reach (straight up vs up-and-over), and how your site conditions may affect stability and access. Use the quick checklist below to match your job to the right setup, then choose your model by height, platform capacity, and power type.

Confirm the Height You Need

Measure the highest task point of your site, like lights, racking, and roofline. Use working height as the main number when comparing models. Remember to leave a safety margin for the operator to work on uneven ground.

Choose the Right EWP Type

  • When you need mostly vertical access and a stable platform for work like picking tasks, lift-outs, and maintenance → Choose a Scissor Lift
  • When you need to work at awkward angles with frequent repositioning, reach over or around racking, machinery, or roof edges → Choose an Articulated Boom Lift

Match the Machine to Your Site Conditions

  • If the surface is smooth indoor concrete and you need tight manoeuvringChoose an Electric Model
  • If the ground is gravel, soft, uneven, or wet most of the timeChoose a Diesel Model

Aerial Work Platform (EWP) FAQs

What's the difference between an aerial work platform and a forklift?
An aerial work platform (EWP) is designed to lift people to the correct working height, while a forklift is designed to lift and transport product for storage and loading purposes. The platform's task is mainly maintenance and construction.

Is a boom lift only for outdoor use and a scissor lift only for indoor use?
Not necessarily. While a boom lift is often used for outdoor activity, there are specific types, such as the electric boom lift, that can handle indoor applications. The same applies to scissor lifts.

What should I do if I get stuck during elevation?
Firstly, you need to stay calm and remain inside the platform. All of our models have an emergency lowering function. If it does not work, you should call a ground worker to use the manual emergency descent controls.
